    I wouldn’t worry bout plugging holes until you start sucking air and alarm goes off.

    You need a water pressure gauge. I don't like letting my motor get hot enough to set the alarm off. You can use set screws with lock-tite on the threads to close off the top holes. Just be careful driving.
